Anyone tried the Blackwater BWGF5 version of the Benchmade Griptilian?

Looks like a blend of the 551 and 550 blades, and a little higher priced than a regular Grip'.
 
Guess not.

I looked at one, since I like the blade shape - a bit of the old Benchmade 750 Pinnicle influence - though not as pronounced in this model.

Not a Griptillian fan, though.

I do have some of the BWGF7 models, since I view them as a 154CM serrated BM710 with the noted different blade shape.

If one were to find the blade shape agreeable, I can't imagine the knife not performing to regular Griptillian standards.

Unfortunately, most sellers appear to want a premium for the Blackwater variants.
 
I have one of those Ti frame lock knives. I like it, since the handle is actually longer than my hand (a plus to me), yet the overall knife is relatively thin in width and depth.
